Did you modify debirf.conf.in? This should be sid not lenny.

Looks like debootstrap failing. Try by hand:

mkdir /tmp/test ; cd /tmp/test ; debootstrap --verbose lenny . http://ftp.debian.org/debian

and see if you get the same error. If so, debootstrap is a shell script
so running it as "sh -x debootstrap ..." might give some more
information what's going wrong. Looks as if there's missing some prefix
before $(TARGET)/dists/lenny/Release.
